The Weight Lyrics - How Sweet It Is - Joan Osborne

Pulled into Nazareth, feeling 'bout half past dead 

Just need a place where I can lay my head 

Hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed? 

He just grinned, shook my hand, 'no' was all he said 

Chorus: 

Take a load off Fanny 

Take a load for free 

Take a load off Fanny 

and put the load right on me

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide 

When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side 

I said, 'Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown' 

She said, 'I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around' 

Chorus 

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say 

It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day 

'Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?' 

He said, 'Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?' 

Chorus 

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog 

He said, 'I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog' 

I said, 'Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man' 

He said, 'That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can'

Catch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the line 

My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time 

To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one 

Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
